1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Twitter and MS Excel Integration

To automatically export Twitter followers to MS Excel, you need to set up Pabbly Connect. Start by creating a free account on Pabbly Connect’s website. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to initiate the process.

When prompted, name your workflow something like ‘Collect Twitter Followers in Excel’. Next, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger is what starts the automation, and the Action is what happens as a result. In this case, select Twitter as the trigger application and Microsoft Excel as the action application.

2. Selecting the Twitter Trigger Event

In this step, you will configure the trigger event in Pabbly Connect. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Follower’ for the Twitter application. This means that every time a specific user receives a new follower, the automation will be activated.

• Select the trigger event from the dropdown.
• Connect your Twitter account by authorizing Pabbly Connect.
• Input the username of the Twitter user whose followers you want to track.

Once the connection is established, Pabbly Connect will be able to fetch data about new followers. This is crucial for ensuring that the integration works smoothly and captures the necessary information.

3. Verifying the Twitter Data Fetching

After setting up the Twitter trigger in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to verify that the data fetching works correctly. You can do this by checking the response from Twitter after a new follower is added. Click on the ‘Test Trigger’ button to see if the latest follower’s details are fetched successfully.

For example, if you are tracking Gary Monroe’s followers, you should see details like the follower’s name and username. This confirms that Pabbly Connect is correctly pulling the data from Twitter, which is essential for the next steps in the integration.

4. Adding Twitter Follower Data to MS Excel

Now that you have confirmed that Pabbly Connect is fetching follower data, you need to set up the action to send this data to Microsoft Excel. Select the action event as ‘Add a Row to Worksheet’ in the Microsoft Excel integration.

• Connect your Microsoft Excel account to Pabbly Connect.
• Select the specific workbook and worksheet where you want to add the data.
• Map the fields from Twitter to the corresponding columns in Excel.

After mapping the fields, every time a new follower is fetched, their data will be automatically added to the specified worksheet in your Excel file. This automation ensures you have real-time tracking of followers without manual intervention.

5. Finalizing the Integration and Monitoring

Once you have set up the action in Pabbly Connect, finalize the integration by saving your workflow. You can now monitor the performance of the automation through the Pabbly dashboard. It will check for new followers every 10 minutes.

This means that your Excel sheet will be updated automatically with new follower data without you having to do anything. You can sit back and analyze the data collected over time. This integration allows you to keep track of competitors like Gary Monroe effectively.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can seamlessly automate the process of exporting Twitter followers to MS Excel. This integration not only saves time but also ensures accurate and real-time data tracking, enhancing your competitive analysis capabilities.
